1 Correlation between epilepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder I-Ching Chou M.D. Director, Department of Pediatric Neurology China Medical University Hospital Taiwan Background Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) A common neurodevelopmental disorder Significant effects on the social and behavioral development of children Severe and persistent symptoms, such as inattention, over-activity, and impulsiveness are associated with long-term educational and social disadvantages Frequent comorbidity with epilepsy Epidemiology of ADHD among children with epilepsy ADHD affects about 3-5% of school age children,whereas the prevalence of epilepsy in children about 0.05%. ADHD in children with epilepsy: 12 to 39% in epidemiological studies Epidemiological studies demonstrated an increased incidence of behavioral problems of all kinds in children with epilepsy First Author, Year of Publication Study Population % With Hyperactivity or Combined Onsted, 1955 [3] 830 children with epilepsy 8.4% Rutter, 1970 [4] 64 children with epilepsy 1.6% Holdsworth, 1974 [5] Bravidor, 1990 [6] Hoare, 1991 [7] Dunn, 2003 [8] Epidemiology of ADHD among children with epilepsy % With In attention 85 children epilepsy 21% 42% 43 children <6 yr 60% intractable epilepsy 108 children with poorly controlled epilepsy, 5-15 yr 175 children with epilepsy for > 6 mo, 9-14 yr 47% 48% (54% parent rating scales) 14% 24% Background 6.1% of ADHD abnormal EEG results; only 3.5% of healthy children (Pediatr Neurol, 2002). Children with unprovoked seizures: behavioral disturbances more common before the onset of the first seizure compared to controls (Pediatrics, 2001). 148 children with first unprovoked seizures and 89 seizure-free sibling controls: attention problems before the first seizure 2.4-fold more common in children with seizures (8.1%) than in controls (3.4%) (Seizure, 1997) March 2013 Volume 8 Issue 3 e

2 Background Objective Most of the previous study regarding relationship between ADHD and epilepsy Case control study (minority) Review of medical records Most studies have been undertaken in clinic settings and not in large populations Since there is a high association between ADHD and epilepsy, there might be a bidirectional relationship between these two disorders We performed a population-based cohort study to evaluate correlation between ADHD and epilepsy Data source Epilepsy.. ADHD ADHD.. Epilepsy An electronic claims database of Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database program (NHIRD) covering 99% of the total 23 million population contracting with more than 90% of health care facilities in Taiwan A subset of the longitudinal data containing randomly selected cohort of one-million insurants was used in this study. Study design and subjects Two cohort studies for evaluating the bidirectional relation between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD; International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision [ICD-9], Clinical Modification, code: , epilepsy (ICD-9 345) using the same procedure to select study subjects. Study subjects were children under age 19 and without mentally retarded (ICD ). 2

3 Cohort 1: Epilepsy and Subsequent Risk of ADHD Prevalence for epilepsy: 0.34% Results The mean age was 8 years (SD ± 5.3 years) in epilepsy group, the same as the comparison group Male : Female = 1.2 : 1.0 Distribution of the area : no significant difference Cohort 1: Epilepsy and Subsequent Risk of ADHD The median follow-up epilepsy group : 7.0 years comparison group: 7.5 years The incidence of ADHD Epilepsy: 7.76 per 1000 person-years (0.77%) Comparison: 3.22 per 1000 person-years (0.32%) Cohort 2: ADHD and Subsequent Risk of Epilepsy Prevalence for ADHD: 0.5% The mean age was 8.7 years (SD ±3.0 years) in ADHD group, the same as the comparison group; Male : Female = 4 : 1 Children living in higher urbanized area had higher percentage of ADHD (P <0.0001). Cohort 2: ADHD and Subsequent Risk of Epilepsy The median follow-up ADHD group: 3.3 years comparison group: 3.5 years The incidence of epilepsy ADHD group:3.24 per 1000 person-years (0.32%) comparison group: 0.78 per 1000 person-years (0.08%) 3

4 ADHD and epilepsy: comorbid conditions. a bidirectional relationship between ADHD and epilepsy In this study, ADHD increases the risk of subsequent epilepsy, and epilepsy increases the risk of subsequent ADHD The complex relationship between epilepsy and ADHD remains unclear. Possible pathophysiology of their comorbidity in the brain development: 1. the effects of chronic seizures 2. EEG epileptiform discharges 3. antiepileptic drugs Neurodevelopmental conditions: increase the vulnerability of children to epilepsy and ADHD ADHD symptoms prior to the onset of seizures: 1. Higher in children with epilepsy compared to their siblings 6 months prior to the first diagnosed seizure 2. ADHD significantly more common in patients with new-onset epilepsy (31%) than in healthy controls (6%) Am J Psychiatry 2005 ; J Child Neurol 2001 This finding is consistent with the possibility of acquiring ADHD increases in epileptic children and independent of the effects of seizures or their treatment. 4

5 Frontostriatal network dysfunction : - a frontostriatal network dysfunction related to ADHD frontal lobe dysfunction appears in both focal-onset and generalized-onset types of epilepsy Biol Psychiatry 2005 Epilepsy-induced impairment of networks: - seizure-induced rats simultaneously developed behavioral and physical characteristics similar to ADHD symptoms Epilepsia 2007 ADHD and epilepsy common underlying causative factors including genetics and environmental factors leading to a cascade of transcriptional changes in the brain (plasticity, apoptosis, neurogenesis) alters behavior or cognition prior to the appearance of seizures Limitation of the Study Which type of ADHD had higher risk of developing epilepsy is unknown Which type of epilepsy had higher risk of developing ADHD is unknown Influence of AEDs/ADHD medication on subsequent seizure or inattention were not excluded Conclusion Early identification of ADHD and epilepsy comorbidity is crucial Pediatric neurologist should look for temporal relationships between the course of the epilepsy, and the onset of ADHD In children with epilepsy, might need ADHD treatment combination to improve long-term cognitive and behavioral prognosis, i Thank You for Your Attention 5
